I don't find Gen V overdone, if anything that was the smartest thing for them to do.
Think about it, do u expect to find american monarch butterflies in Japan?
Why would we find Butterfrees as a native species in Unova?

I didn't get it. I was talking about how they come late in-game, and the 5th Generation overdid it because of BW: Axew, Mienfoo, Rufflet/Vullaby, Deino and Larvesta. It maked me sad. That wasn't only Dratini like in the First Generation, what was boring, but not so unfair.

One unfair thing I see in Pokemon is how most of the world doesn't even get half of the events Japan or us in the US get. Makes me feel sad.

Since when does the location of a real life species affect whether the Pokemon it's based on will appear in a game or not? It has been inconsequential as far as I can remember. Later generations do make an attempt to introduce more Pokemon that are viable to use, especially for Bug types. No more "evolve at lower levels but have a BST of 300" nonsense, and every Bug type in Gen V has decent BST and movepool.

That's true, I must say that BW was the bug reborn. Where almost all bugs are at least somewhat cool.

I happen to like these said creatures, like Kyurem, Medicham, and Scrafty. I enjoy these said combos, sometimes it produces harder to kill examples of these creatures, like how Scrafty is immune to Psychic attacks (save miracle eyeing them first) and Medicham only gets neutral damage from a Psychic attack.

Oh,I almost forgot that there were already Pokemon with that characteristics. Thats very unique.

1) Pokémon following you
2) More boxes (24 just isn't enough if you want a living pokédex with every form, and still want to hunt shiny's and breed the crap out of them.
3) Underground, secret bases.
4) A extra region added
5) Berrie trees
6) Diving on more spots
7) Safari zone
8) A easier and accurate way to show your EV's and IV's.

I could think of much more, but CBA now.

I'm sure more boxes will come someday.But if they were releasing a new game thats still part of Generation 5 Main Series,GF must add at least 2 to 5 boxes especially for those who are collecting and MMing for shiny Pokemon.

One of the few great thing I'd like to see is for Nintendo to actually take a look at some player created pokémon and implementing them into the games. A lot of people like designing their own pokemon for fun, and some of these are really great and I'd really like to see them in the games. Anyone else who feels the same?

1) It won't happen, for legal reasons.

2) I've never actually seen any that is close to 'great'. Most of them look like monsters you get from those "click to hatch the egg" thingy people put in their forum signature.

Another one just came to mind: Event Pokémon. Yeah, it was kinda alright when it was just Mew, but 4 gens later, and I hate how if you want the lovable mascot of this website or a genocidal cyberbug, you have to be in the right place at the right time or it's gone forever. That diploma you get for completing the National Dex? Without the likes of Shaymin and Deoxys in there, that diploma is a lie. The ones at specific locations are the worst - I went through Hell and back to get Keldeo by finding a GAME that was actually doing the event. How you lot coped when they were in another COUNTRY altogether, I'll never know.

Yeah, really wish they would hurry up and have a special Flareon the can learn it.
Or better yet just have it learn it by level.

Wow, I see this a lot. I'm glad that I had no idea of the in-depth battle mechanics when I first used Flareon along with other Eevolutions in Crystal xD Gave it Flamethrower back then and it was good to go. Flare Blitz would definitely help it out.

No part of how event Pokémon are handled is anything remotely resembling "unfair". If anything, it's done as fairly as possible, by means that allow a significant percentage of people - perhaps even a majority of people - to access an event during its duration.

It would be patently impossible to make the events available to everyone - do the events solely over Wi-Fi and a minority (make no mistake, if you don't have wireless Internet in your home these days, you may not necessarily be in a minority, but you're in a rapidly shrinking percentage at the very least) will whine that they don't have Wi-Fi. Do the events solely in stores and a different percentage will whine that they aren't near a store location. And as such, the next best thing is to alternate the means, which does in fact make at least one event out of every two or three available to the majority of people.

Okay. It's someone else's fault that you took your eye off the ball? This is kind of like saying "I stop following astronomical news for a short time and I lose the one chance at a meteor shower I may ever get." Who told you to stop paying attention?

Putting aside the fact that Game Freak has nothing to do with how the events are run internationally, and that "temporary" is usually at least a few weeks and often a few months, no, simply putting the material in-game with no stipulations is not a logical or realistic possibility, so discard that from the pile.

The logic of the matter is unchanged no matter how many times people complain about it. Let this hopefully stem the tide of people complaining "event Pokémon are unfair!" They aren't. They're handled as fairly as they reasonably can be, and if one person cannot personally obtain a certain event for whatever reason, that's certainly unfortunate for them, but it doesn't make the concept or its handling "unfair". If enough people weren't able to access the events, they wouldn't do them as they do now. Simple as that.
